Well I did a lot of "educating" after that little episode! I keep much closer track of my parents and grandparents and their medical conditions and treatments now. Not the easiest since they're 700+ miles away, but we talk on the phone a lot.
I don't know if it's their generation or brung-ups or what, but they never want to "bother" their dr. I can just hear my mom, "Dr., I'm so sorry to bother you but there is blood spurting out of the stump where my arm used to be. I could probably wait till tomorrow to come in if that would be more convenient for you . . . " :-) She's the sweetest lady, but a little TOO considerate at times.
I must eat something lest I faint from hunger, . . . but will be back later.
Can't have you fainting from hunger to eat not a good advertisement for a nurse. I am signing off now and taking dog out feed pigeons and parents. Will be back up probably in about hour and half.
Love to all God Bless
